Kamei Royal Baru


Now that's an interesting name. It's located downtown right next to the Scotiabank Theatre. We were downtown for a movie preview (World War Z!...it was ok) and needed a quick bite to eat. I think it used to be the former location of Ensemble Tap, but anyways onto the food!

I normally never head to a Kamei restaurant as I used to think of it was a low quality Sushi restaurant. But I have to admit that this place was beautiful! And it seems to be authentic!

We happened to be there during happy hour and the restaurant had more of a bar menu which was a nice change, the wings were 25 cents each!

First we ordered the Spinach Gomaee. Very pretty! And tasted very fresh, the lotus root chip was a nice touch

Then came the Volcano roll....Basically a fake California roll topped with a huge amount of  fried Tempura bits, avocado and some spicy sauce... Nothing special, and not worth $10. I do like the Tempura bits though, but fried batter is always good!

Agadashi Tofu, another pretty looking dish. Debbie enjoyed it, and was only $6, very fancy looking!

The main course was there Mojo Hambagu steak with cheese, rice and a fried egg! First things first, I love Japanese Hambagu steak! It is like the best Salisbury steak you've ever head. This place really nailed the recipe down. The burger was amazing and the demi-glace sauce that came with it was awesome. I would order this again!

 



Overall a decent meal, and great place to stop by for dinner and a movie.
